  • How do you go about designing a particle accelerator? Suzie Sheehy discusses how they work, what form they take, and what champagne means to an accelerator physicist.
    Watch more films in our series on particle accelerators: • How To Trap Particles ...
    The Large Hadron Collider at CERN has captured the imagination of the public. But particle accelerators take many shapes, and there are tens of thousands of other accelerators in use every day around the world.
    Dr Suzie Sheehy designs particle accelerators. In this animation she leads us through the world of accelerators. They all share the same basic ingredients of an accelerator: particles, energy, control, collision and detection, and typically fall into three categories: linear, cyclotron and synchrotron.
    The applications of accelerators range from individual medical care to answering the biggest questions we have about the universe. Each accelerator is the culmination of hundreds of people’s efforts, though the designs themselves often start with a single person’s idea.
    Watch Suzie’s lecture to learn more about her research: • Particle Accelerators ...

      Actually, most people have the ability to understand symbolic meaning and this animation obviously wasn't intended to be a literal depiction of reality. So, if you are not autistic then it won't take a degree in semiotics to grasp this concept.

    Hi.
    Just for fun, I was wondering if you could maybe give us an explanation of what type of components would be needed to create a Ghostbusters proton pack.
    Not necessarily considering weight and size, but just what would be needed in terms of individual components, power requirement, and such...and what a real one might look like if a realistic proton pack was constructed with today's knowledge and technology.
    What would the Ghostbusters need to do, to create an actual proton pack??

    Yes, It is big and complicated. How do the designers coordinate the different sections to work together? There are a lot of machined metal parts. Which software was used to design parts? How did they architect the electrical wiring to each component so that it did not interfere with the electro magnetic fields?

    please excuse this silly question, but when you accelerate a particle in a synchrotron, as it gets closer and closer to the speed of light, doesn't it take on mass?
    And if so, wouldn't it's gravitational attractive force increase?
    Please feel free to dismiss my question if it's ridiculous.

The cost 4 a cyclotron was excesisive 4 my budget, i was very poor. Thanks very much, buy you can be more specific in ur explains. I was see one 10 Mev working in my university. Now i 65 & is too later 4 me. Buy i was learn very much about the caracteristicals of the matter. Thanks again

      You'd lose a lot of the energy in the sideways component of the vector while steering the particle around the steeper curve, hence the need for it to be as big a circle as possible. Ideally it would be a huge straight line!

    • @Doomroar
      @Doomroar 7 років тому +2

      Yeah i understand that they are trying to keep it accessible so maybe they though to go with the more recognizable form of a magnet, but since this is a video on a highly specialized topic it may end generating misconceptions on that very public they are trying to reach, wasting part of the effort put into the video. On the other hand it is a cartoon so maybe it is not to be taken as a genuine representation of reality.

    • @adamrasmussen3521
      @adamrasmussen3521 7 років тому +5

    • @rationalmartian
      @rationalmartian 7 років тому +1

      I agree Adam. Surely pretty much everyone will understand it is highly stylised and symbolically illustrative. Artistic licence is hardly a complex idea, that most people will not "get".
      It is a short video under 5 mins long. It seems a little churlish to criticise it for such minor things. Almost like criticising it for the unreal bending arms on the dancing woman.

    • @azgarogly
      @azgarogly 7 років тому

      Adam Rasmussen I do appreciate the quality of the graphics. But it is on scientific matter, You have to simplify things here, but making statements which are plain wrong is unacceptable.
      It's like middle-school physics class. You explain things a simple way, but not contradicting the subject You teach.
      Sci-Pop media is about educating people, not creating misconceptions, isn't it?

    • @azgarogly
      @azgarogly 7 років тому

      rationalmartian When You do a video depicting oversea land and simulate foreign language with gibberish, it's "stylised and symbolicall". If You take some real speech and the person says "this is a yellow cow" pointing a black cat, this is wrong.
      If it is a just a random video made for amusement, it's just lame. Ok, whatever.
      But when it's something connected to languages or travel. It would be embarrassing.
      Maybe it's good for humanitarians. Not for science channel.

  • @lloydcantuii2887
    @lloydcantuii2887 4 місяці тому

    Hi.
    I really like your videos a lot.
    I had an odd request.
    Could you build a ghostbuster proton pack, that was designed and styled after these real-life particle accelerators, so that it has replicas of all the components real-life accelerators have, for their functionality and operations. So that the pack has all components a real-life accelerator would have to operate properly. They dont have to be real components, but artistic replicas of the components, so that the pack would be designed to work, if they were real components.
    Designed so it would be fully operational by the real-thing, if all the components were REAL...with all the wiring and cables and everything.
    A proton accelerator backpack, whose design is based on the real-life accelerators you make, but downsized into a pack you can ware, like the Ghostbusters.
    I hope I explained it, well enough for you to understand, cause sometimes i have trouble getting my meaning across to other people.
    Thank you for your time, efforts, and consideration in this project build.....
